Good blade for the money. One reviewer downgraded it for a rough butt joint, which obviously isn't as good as blades costing three times as much, but that doesn't seem to affect the cut quality in any way. The cut is clean and precise.
First time with this brand. So far, so good. He is perceptive and came just in time to pack his Christmas things. I haven't noticed any seaming noise and it's not bent (like some previous purchases from other brands). When it's still a few miles down I'll be back with a more detailed review of how it fares under heavy use.
Thought the first one was an accident but this one has a bad weld too. It looks like all the teeth are cut BEFORE the band is welded. Of course, this means that the teeth in the weld are not only deformed, but also stains are removed when the weld is cleaned. I will not buy these again. It cuts, but unfortunately there are better blades for less money. Why bother with these?
